Before Jacky could do anything, more than ten people had already blocked Santiago's way. Santiago stopped and turned to look at Jacky. "You think these people can stop me?"
"They can't, but I can."
Jacky approached Santiago, his eyes gleaming with a ferocious look. He raked his eyes all over Deanna, who was cowering in terror.
"You?" Santiago smiled. "What if you can't?"
"If I can't, then you're free to take her away, just like her older brother," Jacky answered. Hearing this, Santiago crouched a bit to allow Deanna to get down from his back.
"Deanna, come down."
Deanna shook her head. "No."
"Listen to me. I said I'll take you away from here and I'll deliver my promise. If I can't, then I'll stay with you too," said Santiago. Only then did she come down from Santiago's back and stand aside.
"Bring it on. Let's fight."
Santiago walked over to the side, waiting for Jacky to come over. Under the streetlamp, the two men beheld each other. Jacky was ruffled by Santiago's appearance.
Before this, Jacky had only seen two most visually stunning human beings, one of which was Deanna, and the other one himself.
Now that Santiago was here, Jacky felt a great deal of pressure.
Although their good looks weren't quite the same, Jacky felt it would be no exaggeration to say that Santiago's appearance was awe-inducing.
Moreover, Santiago seemed to be very young.
"How old are you?" Jacky asked. Santiago did not hesitate to answer either. "Seventeen."
"Seventeen?"
Frowning, Jacky cast an inquiring look at Deanna. "Is that so?"
"Hmm." She lowered her head slightly. Right then, she could accept anything other than staying here. The living conditions here were too harsh for her. She could only have potatoes and steamed buns for her meals. There was nothing else.
She wanted to go home, but Jacky wouldn't hear of it.
She was scared stiff at the thought of having to stay here and couldn't go home.
Jacky gazed at her. "You told me that he didn't touch you? Do you still remember it?"
"Yes, I remember," Deanna replied, looking into his eyes. Jacky then laughed. "Then, were you lying to me?"
"No, he really didn't touch me. I do like him, but he doesn't like me." When she thought about this, she was still a little unhappy. If it weren't for Santiago, then she wouldn't have run away and got herself abducted. In her mind, it was all Santiago's fault.
While she was complaining to herself, Jacky asked, " Do you like him?"
"Mmm." Deanna craned her neck and looked at the shocked expressions in the surrounding people's eyes. Her head was lowered and she wasn't very certain if she still liked him that much then.
Jacky gritted his teeth. "Come here."
She stepped back, shaking her head vigorously.
Santiago glanced at her. "Go to him."
Deanna looked at him in surprise. "Aren't you taking me away?"
Impatience was written all over Santiago's face. "He won't hurt you."
Jacky shot a glance at Santiago before he walked towards Deanna. At the thought of wearing tattered clothes, eating potatoes, and being bullied, Deanne turned around and made a dash for the main road. Seeing her reaction, Jacky stopped. "Don't run, I won't chase after you."
Deanna kept sprinting towards the road, as if she hadn't heard him. Meanwhile, a car roared over from a distance, and it was insanely fast. Additionally, there were more than a dozen cars behind it.
Santiago's face fell as he looked over. "D*mn it!"
Stepping forward, Santiago yelled at her. "Stop! Don't go up there!"
Deanna shook her head. "No, you are all bad guys. I want to go home, I want Mom and Dad, I want my brother..."
Deanna couldn't care less. It was as if she could get home once she had made her way to the road. She ran desperately towards the road. As a result, when she made it to the road, the car was too close to her. In a flash of light, Deanna looked at the car, shrieked, and fell to the ground.
Afterwards, the car screeched to a halt, and the following cars also came to a stop, successively.
Jacky stood rooted to the spot, his face turning pale. "Little fool."
There was not even the slightest movement from Deanna. Behind him, Santiago was also left dazed. A while later, he shouted, "Deanna..."
Jacky threw a dirty look at Santiago before he strode towards the road. Just when he was about to get close to Deanna, a man had already carried her in his arms. After glancing at Jacky, he bent down and got into the car.
Instantaneously, Jacky walked to the side of the car and pulled open the door, intending to get inside. However, a group of men approached and surrounded him.
Jacky's men backed him up one after another. If they had been at an advantage in terms of numbers earlier on, then they were outnumbered at the moment. Any possibility of defeating the other party was out of the question.
"Leave her here, or else, you won't be able to get out of Waverly Village."
Jacky's men stood in front of the car and sat on the trunk, forming a human barricade. The glass windows of the car were tinted black, encumbering one from seeing the situation inside. In fact, Jacky was not bluffing. Without his orders, no one would be able to leave the village, even if they had managed to enter.
Santiago arrived at the road too. He lowered his head and surveyed the place where Deanna had fallen down. There was not a drop of blood on the ground. He then observed the license number on the car. It appeared to be Zorion's car.
It didn't take long for the driver inside the car to get down. He looked at Jacky and said, "Miss Deanna has bled too much. If we don't send her to the hospital at once, then it'll be too late."
Jacky's countenance turned deathly pale. "Let them go."
"Jacky, they..."
